things at work that make you cringe?

Mostly it's personalities in the office. But the main one I hate is the person that no matter what you did, they did the year before but twice as hard and ten times as extreme?

"Enjoy your holiday?"
"It was lovely, I went hiking in Scotland for a few days."
"That reminds me of last year when I was trapped under an avalanche in the alps for a week. Our guide died of hypothermia but I survived by drinking my own ****."

oh i had a work experience guy like that, he didnt last long :p

he had been to uni, got his degree and had been offered a £35k a year job, but only on the condition he did some work experience with some other company first (dunno why a company would do that :confused:). and no matter what i asked him to do, it was below him. so i let him chose what he wanted to do, and about 5mins after starting every job, he would wonder off. i would go over and check, and it was worse than before he started. a wanna be know it all, that knew nothing.

Ah yes the "my dads bigger than your dad" bull****ter.

Ours nickname is ******** (bull excretment), and everyone calls him that to his face :D
 
My manager is a nice guy, but his manager is a ****ing devil in a human skin.

he sees everyone as a ****ing number which can be devided by zero.
 
Women at work are the worst if there's loads of them, There's some old Doris that insists on having her baggy cleavage hanging out & it's one of those situations where you don't want to look but do then have nightmares for the rest of the shift. :(

project managers. After 8 years in my chosen career, I'm still struggling to work out what their purpose is. Having to politely ignore their uselessness is just embarrassing at times.

For me, it has to be the buzzwords, acronyms, and jargon. "We can leverage the...", "I'll action that now...", "Knock some heads together", etc etc. The worst thing is it has started creeping into my vocabulary too, and I end up spouting this rubbish too.
 
My boss sends me e-mails that make me facepalm on a regular basis. Perfect example yesterday...he wanted me to register him for a conference.

ME: Which registration option would you like - 2 day or full?
BOSS: Yes - full 2 day registration please.
ME: :confused::(:confused::(:confused::(
